| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the mod_xml2enc module of the Apache HTTP Server. An untrusted backend server can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by returning a crafted response with a character set whose conversion partially succeeds and then fails. Processing this response triggers an invalid memory access (null pointer dereference), causing the server process to crash.
